Abstract
A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for delivering service via a globally addressable interface. A plurality of interfaces are provided with access allowed to a plurality of different sets of services from each of the interfaces. Each interface has a unique set of services associated therewith. Each of the interfaces is named with a name indicative of the unique set of services associated therewith. The names of the interfaces are then broadcast to a plurality of systems requiring service.
Claims15
A method for delivering service via a globally addressable interface comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of interfaces;
- (b) allowing access to a plurality of different sets of services from each of the interfaces, wherein each interface has a unique set of services associated therewith;
- (c) naming each of the interfaces with a name indicative of the unique set of services associated therewith;
- and
- (d) broadcasting the names of the interfaces to a plurality of systems requiring service.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for delivering service via a globally addressable interface comprising:
- (a) a code segment that provides a plurality of interfaces;
- (b) a code segment that allows access to a plurality of different sets of services from each of the interfaces, wherein each interface has a unique set of services associated therewith;
- (c) a code segment that names each of the interfaces with a name indicative of the unique set of services associated therewith;
- and
- (d) a code segment that broadcasts the names of the interfaces to a plurality of systems requiring service.
A system for delivering service via a globally addressable interface comprising:
- (a) logic that provides a plurality of interfaces;
- (b) logic that allows access to a plurality of different sets of services from each of the interfaces, wherein each interface has a unique set of services associated therewith;
- (c) logic that names each of the interfaces with a name indicative of the unique set of services associated therewith;
- and
- (d) logic that broadcasts the names of the interfaces to a plurality of systems requiring service.
